My wife has a bone cyst and her wrist is effectively unusable. Our teenage son volunteered to help me since we’re one cook down in the kitchen this year.
Nobody likes a lazy MF.
I assume the families that need to hear this won’t listen.
Every male in my family can cook and clean house.
And they cook better than their girlfriends/wives.
So yea, maybe hold your sexism.
The heck is a thanksgiving?
Ritualized Turkey Murder
Note: Turkey is optional. Mostly because nobody ever does it well. It is always dry and tasteless.
We’re doing home made pizzas.
It is fun, and it requires little skill so everyone involved in the cooking process. Even the kids get involved to help.
Best part: Nobody spends all day slaving away in the kitchen not enjoying the holiday.
Vegans have Thanksgiving.
As a vegan, I hate Thanksgiving. Hate any holiday that requires sitting and eating for more than half an hour, to be honest.
Couldn’t there be a holiday where family gathers around the generational foosball table or the antique Wii? Eating is boring.
It’s what Canada and the USA call their harvest festival. What does your country call it?
Maybe “Herbstfest”? But more of a local thing. “Jahrmarkt” is even more local. Both are some kind of village-wide market events, the first more fall-themed (and grapes because “Weinland” switzerland) with changing locations each year.
Looks like american thanksgiving is how christmas is for us?
We have three eating holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and they’re all about the same. There’s loads of Germans and Dutch up here so people keep a lot of the European traditions, and I’d say you’re probably right that Thanksgiving is more like your Christmas.
We dont have one
Wow what a shame. That’s super uncommon, only a handful of countries in the world don’t have a recognized harvest festival.
… People don’t do this?
Plenty of people do this. But it’s great engagement bait to pretend otherwise
Let me…
Let me…
Let me…
In our house Mom was the chef and us boys were the su-chefs. If you want to live under this roof you’d better help with the cooking, serving, cleaning and everything else in the household. That’s the best way to learn how to do it all yourself.
I was already rolling meatballs and frying schnitzels when I was in early high school.
Are you sure she wasn’t the sudo chef?
*sous chef. Sous is French for under. So the person directly under the chef is the sous chef.
Bone Apple Tea
my daughter wants to be a chef when she grows up, so i tend to involve her more in cooking and food prep. i do also teach my son how to make food and how to care for himself, obviously, but he doesn’t have an interest in anything more advanced than that. my girl though, she’s going to have at least one michelin star or i’ll eat my hat.
Will she prepare the hat?
Good eats taught me more about cooking than any family member ever did
It’s the only cooking show I have ever watched that actually taught the why so I could experiment on my own.
If you’re looking for tips.
My sister cant cook for shit and I cook for the family like 3 times a week lol
Everyone better stay out of my kitchen. I’m all for teaching kids to cook. But I don’t want amateurs on the field during the Super Sowl of cooking days.
I like Super Sowl. I’m pretty sure it was a typo but please leave it as is. It’s got Sowl.
Setting the table would be an easy task that can be taught throughout the year, and that skill can then be employed during your super sowl.
They can set the table before I wake up. But when it’s time to cook I need them out.
Thanksgiving is for the kids to stay out of the kitchen. I teach cooking on other day. Cleanup is a different story. If you got hand you clean or youll catch hands.
“Meme”
Here is what I would like to say of my experience. Not to snap at this, or provoke a battle-of-the-genders. Just to say what I’ve experienced.
I’m a recovered germophobe but I still do the cleaning because it’s not even work to me, it’s just a casual part of my routine. I cook all from fresh and every meal, because I lost like 58kg after getting over my ED. My mother was insanely (abusively) strict when we were just small kids, so we were trained to clean the dishes, put things away, blah blah.
But anyways after sobering up and lots of therapy, the bad parts (the obsessive parts) of all that went away, but doing that stuff had just become an ‘easy’ part of my life.
But here’s the little thing I don’t even want to say. Women hate that shit lol. Isn’t that awful to say? I’m always taken aback when I’m scolded for doing the things women say guys should do more of ahha
I think at my age it’s a lot of the entrenched gender roles biting all sides. Yes, please open up the gates to the domains women historically have controlled. Guys need to shape up in a general sense in these areas, but let us in plz!
I am a stay-at-home dad. The amount of people bewildered by that is bewildering 😅
But my wife gets more shit anyway, because now she’s apparently a really bad mother, who provides for her family 😅😅. bUt ThAt’S a MaN’s JoB.
Tradition seems hard to kill.
I get what you’re saying, but the attitudes are luckily changing and the amount of women who frown on men doing housework is rapidly shrinking.
I agree, I’m just trapped in my generation and I hate it
And as much as people can verbalize the “right” things, people don’t actually hold those attitudes deep in their hearts and they’re not reflected in their actions to the degree we would hope
The number of people assert the way things should be but then don’t actually want it is quite shocking to me
Society being agender-by-default, with gender being opt-in, would solve a lot of problems.
Thing is, biology ain’t.
Lol, I’m a dude and, I remember when I was a kid, there was sometimes holiday stuff where the adults would make… the um… (okay I had to google it) it’s called 湯圓 and I just mess with it while they were making it, I’d make weird shapes out of it lol. I don’t think I actually helped, I’m just a troublemaker xD
I only know how to cook basic stuff, I suck at it. I know how to pan-fry eggs, but that’s about it. I think I sort of know how to make a very basic 煎餅, from scratch, the mixing flour and egg and stuff, kinda forgot by now… but I have memories of doing it.
I kinda feel embarassed now that I talk about it. I have no life skills. (pls don’t judge xD)
It’s never too late to learn. Drag doesn’t know any Chinese recipes, but bao should be pretty easy, and すひ is fun and simple, but still has technique to making it look nice. Heating up dried pasta and adding sauce is so easy drag already explained the recipe, so it’s good for beginners.
